Steam Powered Giraffe

Airheart

Her father fought in the great war

In an aeroplane named Bree

He gave his love to a pretty girl

And said, "Baby you're the one for me"

And though her name was Bree,

He still found it all a shock

When he found out she was an airplane,

The stork began to knock

A baby girl was born

With air rudders on her back

She picked up airwave frequencies

And petrol was her favorite snack

Whale she bubbled noises like an airplane

Every time she sang

And her heart it loved so hungrily,

And roared like a Mustang

That's why they called her

Airheart

Airheart

That girl was meant to fly

So prep the runway

Airheart

Airheart

That girl will soar away

She was an angel in her blue dress

When Little Jimmy Wright took her to prom

The young pilot said he loved her,

And oil began to clam her palm

Whale he was lost in the sky

And they said he had died,

But I know something more

They only found Jimmy's goggles,

In his plane upon the floor

Well years went by

And she still looked to the sky,

Her feelings did not disperse

She could fly any plane just like an ace

And kept goggles in her purse

And she swore she still heard Jimmy singing, "That'll Be the Way Home"

It would haunt her from her radio

In each sky that she would roam

Jimmy's voice echoed

Airheart

Airheart

I'm sorry that I flew away

But just remember

Airheart

Airheart

Keep flapping and you'll soar one day

Lets Fly!

Do you wanna sail into the sky?

Soar across the stars?

Sail into the sky?

Soar across the stars?

Sail into the sky?

Soar across the stars?

The stars?

The stars?!

The stars!

Then one fateful day

Ended with a storm streaked sky

Her plane crashed into the mountain side,

Was she flying much too high?

They only found Jimmy's goggles

In her plane upon the floor

I hope she's up there somewhere with him

Kissing on a cloudy shore

The birds were singing

Airheart

Airheart

That girl was meant to fly

So prep the runway

Airheart

Airheart

That girl will soar one day

Air-air ha ah art

Air-air ha ah art

Air-air ha ah art

Air-air ha ah art

Air-air ha ah art

Air-air ha ah art

Air-air ha ah art

Airheart!
